Initiating Alarms
There are a several ways to initiate an alarm from the MapGUI Control Center. Each will be described
below as a step process. This section will cover the most common ways to initiate alarms from the
MapGUI client.
In the next section we’ll go in to detail about Overriding Alarms and Pages because the process is
identical for both. Unsuccessful attempts at initiating alarms or pages will also be discussed.
Initiating an Alarm Preset (Alarm Sub Group)
Alarm Presets can be activated exactly the same from both the Map and Site View screens, because their
destinations are pre-configured. They do not require any map input. The figure below illustrates an
Alarm Preset being initiated from the Site view.

It is also important to note that in these examples, the Show Alarm Confirmation option is disabled, so
that window is not appearing. For those users who would like confirmation of alarm selections, a window
will appear to verify that the information in the request is correct.
